Everyone sees this optical illusion differently, so does the outline look red or blue to you?

ISN'T it funny the way optical illusions can make you feel as though you’re being tricked?

The latest optical illusion leaving people stumped has everyone questioning whether they’re seeing the color red or blue.

Optical illusions are extremely popular on social media because people love testing their friends and family members with intriguing mind games.

If optical illusions weren’t so popular, there wouldn’t be so many mind games to download on the App Store.

A cognitive scientist named Tom Stafford created an interesting image to open up the dialogue of a new conversation.

Tom told Mind Hacks: “There are big individual differences in perception of the effect. People also differ in which color looks closer.”

He continued: “For most people, it is red, with blue looking deeper or further away."

Are you in the majority when you glance at the original image?

Tom also added: “Chromostereopic illusions are true stereo illusions.”

In other words, you’ll need to look at this particular illusion with both eyes to come to your own conclusion.

Although you might assume this optical illusion is a stereo illusion, you’d be incorrect.

Closing one eye to make the effect disappear is an easy way to prove that fact to yourself.

Some people who look at this optical illusion are easily able to see one color appear further away than the other.

Other people taking a glance at this optical illusion can’t see a difference in depth whatsoever.

Some people look at this optical illusion and see a red outline, while others see a blue outline.

Either way, if you stare at this optical illusion long enough, you’re bound to notice its overall creativity and allure.
